So I recently purchased a Savage 111 trophy hunter xp in .270. Plan on doibg some hunting with it this fall. Took it out to the range for the first time the other day and put some rounds through it. Sighted in fairly quick, and I was shooting abou 1.5 inches with 3 shots at 100yards. I think as I get more aclimated to the gun I'lll shoot better as I'm mainly not useto any recoil.

The gentleman I was shooting with has an Axis .308. He put a boyds stock on it and a metal trigger guard. Made the rifle a bit heavier, but I liked the look and feel of it, but most of all he said it made the gun more accurate, so for roughly 100$ I was thinking about going for it. So I wanted to get some thoughts on where I should go from here.

This will be a deer rifle, but I will probably go ring some steel a few times a year as well. Plan on shooting 50-300 yards.

I'm wondering if I should: get a boyds stock, get a boyds stock and bed the rifle or just bed the rifle with my current stock.
Also are there any other minor things I should do while I'm at it?


Any imput is much appreciated
